Running Word Macro as part of post-build script?

[doc_guy]

You know how when you generate text that has autonumber formatting (like Note: inserted before a note paragraph)? Word doesn't format it correctly. Instead it just outputs {b}Note: {/b}. Fine. I can create a macro that I can run very quickly to do a find and replace. I've got that part working. But what I'd like to do now is to make this macro run as part of the post-build script that I can set in the target. Any thoughts on how to do this?

Paul, you can fix this right in Flare.

Instead of using the "inline" codes such as {b} {/b} to format the auto-number, use the mc-auto-number-class attribute to call a span class. Works beautifully in all outputs.

Here's an example from one of my stylesheets:

Code: Select all

p.Note
{
   mc-auto-number-format: 'NOTE: ';
   mc-auto-number-class: MinorNotice;
}

span.MinorNotice
{
   font-weight: bold;
}

p.Important
{
   mc-auto-number-format: 'IMPORTANT! ';
   mc-auto-number-class: MajorNotice;
}

span.MajorNotice
{
   font-weight: bold;
   color: red;
}

Cheers!

Thanks Nita!
I encountered this exact same issue and was about to embark on finding a solution to it.
You've saved me a whole lot of time and effort!
I have adapted your example and it works just fine!
Many thanks for posting.
